[Photo] Yun Mi-hyang and Kim Nam-guk, 'Handshake of Lawmakers Sharing the Same Ordeal'

Yoon Mi-hyang, who left the Democratic Party of Korea after embezzling funds meant for comfort women victims, and Kim Nam-guk, an independent lawmaker who left the Democratic Party amid controversy over holding large amounts of virtual assets, are seen shaking hands during a government questioning session held at the National Assembly on the 5th.

In the aftermath of Kim's incident, both ruling and opposition parties submitted consent forms for a full investigation of lawmakers' virtual assets to the Anti-Corruption and Civil Rights Commission on the 4th. The "Kim Nam-guk Prevention Act," which requires public officials of grade 4 or higher to report the types and quantities of virtual assets they hold when registering their property, will be fully enforced starting this December. Recently, Yoon has come under attack from the ruling party amid controversy over her attendance at a Chochongryon (General Association of Korean Residents in Japan) event.
